Eurovision Rewatch: The Hague 1976 (17/10 @ 20.00 BST)

450 million people might have started watching love, but you’ve turned away at least 300 million of them :(
 
Did Sweden go from hosting in 75 to not even entering in 76? Seems a bit strange

Wikipedia

Sweden did not enter in the contest, as broadcaster Sveriges Radio (SR) did not have enough money to host another contest if Sweden won again. A new rule was therefore introduced that in the future each broadcaster participating would have to pay a part of the cost of staging the contest. As the author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor notes in his book The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History, there had been public demonstrations in Sweden against the contest, which also played a part in SR's decision not to take part
 
Oh not these PAEDOS! Is one of them HILLARY?

I didn't realise that we actually started with Ian Watkins' all time favourite Eurovision entry.

Wait a minute! I'm sure I've already seen that UK act! When was that? Was it during the BBC show for this year's Eurovision?!
 
Ok this does slap a bit tbf, the lyrics are just HIDEOUS
 
This better not be the highlight of the show already, that's all I'm saying.

It is odd how they revived a defunct group name rather than starting a new one for Eurovision, isn't it?
 
I wonder if there’s a CLUB REMIX
 
Yep, no way to follow that line. Best just end the song and leave everyone with a disturbing mental picture.
 
As a five year old I asked for their album for Christmas :D
 
If that won then it’s gonna be a LONG FUCKING NIGHT
